Premier League Squad Ranking

[Nymzee]

I'll do tiers because it is hard to split hairs on some:

Elite:
City
RS

CL level:
Chelsea
Tottenham
Arsenal

European competitors:
United
Leicester
Wham

Filling out the midtable:
Wolves
Palace
Brighton
Newcastle
Villa

Should have enough to stay safe:
Saints

Dogfight:
Everton
Leeds
Brentford
Fulham
Forest
Bournemouth


I would rate the situation as pretty bad. And since the teams around us seem to want to try and improve it could reach very bad.

So basically, last season’s table with 3 promoted sides plonked at the end.

Terrible. Glaring lack of athleticism throughout the squad, with very few exceptions. Even our athletic players (Doucoure, DCL, Godfrey) are struggling with injuries. And that's before you even consider basic footballing abilities which are also lacking on worrying levels.

I feel as if whilst the standard of other squads in the PL has improved over the past 5 years, ours has consistently regressed year on year over the same period.

Now Richarlison has left, I would genuinely say 20th

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Anywhere between 10th and the Euro places.

We're battling relegation as it stands, no doubt in my mind. I think there are small glimmers of hope in our squad that could take us away from the scrum at the bottom of the league: if DCL can stay fit, if Alli can emerge as a big part of the team, if Gordon can get better etc but a lot of those things are far from certain.

Our midfield is pitiful and unless we get a proper number 6 in before the season starts we'll get completely dominated like we did against virtually every team we played last season.

Brentford 9th is a bit nutty even for me

I think Brentford will struggle this year and could go down.

 

[Sadken]

Fulham,forest and Bournemouth will be tough, relegation fight.

 

[blueboy1945]

Probably anything between 10th and 17th depending on how fit the players are, how many games Mina misses, and whether heads drop again when things go against them. Need a massive effort from the whole squad.

Oh Jesus.. that's a nightmare right there.
